About Cadence 3

At Cadence 3, we are a marketing-first agency fueled by creativity, strategy, and measurable impact. We specialize in transforming complex ideas into compelling digital experiences that drive real results. Our team is made up of passionate, high-performing marketers who thrive in environments where details matter, ownership is celebrated, and excellence is the baseline—not the goal.

The Role

We’re looking for a strategic, detail-obsessed Events Lead to own and elevate corporate event programs for our clients. This is a senior-level, client-facing role for someone who’s as comfortable creating high-level strategy as they are in the nitty-gritty of flawless execution. If you love running the show, thrive on proactive communication, and get a strange amount of joy from staying five steps ahead, you might be our person.

Key Responsibilities

Event Strategy & Client Leadership

• Develop event strategies that drive business and marketing goals

• Serve as the strategic point of contact for client event workstreams

• Align event strategy with KPIs, budgets, timelines, and messaging goals

• Lead planning across all phases: pre-event strategy, execution, and post-event ROI review

Execution & Oversight

• Manage and inspire internal teams, client stakeholders, and vendor partners to deliver seamless events

• Oversee production for in-person, virtual, and hybrid experiences—ranging from intimate briefings to large-scale conferences

• Stay focused on experience and outcomes—quality, consistency, and connection are everything

Client Impact & Reporting

• Deliver polished post-event reports and performance insights

• Recommend ways to optimize or scale future events

• Ensure we exceed expectations—on budget, on message, and on brand

Team Collaboration & Leadership

• Mentor junior team members and help build scalable processes

• Partner with our creative, content, and digital teams to deliver integrated experiences

• Lead by example—set the tone for quality, communication, and accountability

Qualifications

• 6–10 years of experience in event marketing or corporate event strategy (agency or consultancy experience a plus)

• Proven track record of leading client-facing projects and executive-level communication

• Obsessed with detail and timelines. Comfortable juggling multiple priorities under pressure

• Strong understanding of marketing strategy and how events support business growth

• Skilled in project management, vendor negotiation, and client communications

• Based in or willing to relocate to the Seattle area preferred

• Must be legally eligible to work in the U.S.;

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Love a well-organized calendar, a tight run-of-show, and a killer debrief doc

• Take ownership instinctively—and have a bias toward action

• Are energized by collaboration, but just as capable flying solo

• Find satisfaction in exceeding expectations (yours and others)

• See feedback as fuel, not friction

Why Join Cadence 3?

• Impactful work with high-profile clients across tech, healthcare, and beyond

• Creative, strategy-first culture with room to grow

• Remote-friendly environment with a Seattle studio for in-person collaboration

• Supportive, high-performing team that values kindness, curiosity, and accountability

• Competitive salary
• Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); generous PTO; paid holidays; and professional development opportunities
